About Me


SideBMusic is an independent record label co-founded by myself and my friend Brian Battles . We have six incredibly talented artists and I'm proud to represent them: Nicholas Alan , Nelson Bragg , Chewy Marble , Chris McKay & The Critical Darlings , Richard Snow and Tripsitter . Naturally, they're at the very top of my Friends space. All of our artists' CDs are available at CDBaby and individual tracks are available for download on iTunes and all the major download sites. If you've got a minute, fill out our SURVEY and get a FREE song by one of our artists.
BANDS: Please do not send me a MySpace message asking me to "check out your tunes" on your page. If you would like to submit your songs on a CD for consideration, visit the SideBMusic website for our submission guidelines.
Listen to the new Chewy Marble single "She Roxx"
"Highly entertaining stuff! I think "Cross-Hatched World" may get stuck in my head for a long while. And some of my favorite people are on here...Jim Laspesa, Nelson Bragg...not to mention [producer] Steve Refling.
Alan Boyd: Producer, The Beach Boys: Endless Harmony
"It's fantastic. Right up there with the previous Chewy Marble offerings and certainly a nice step forward...
Brian Curtis: The Oohs
"A great, great band!"
Lina Latonjua
"... much of the kind of hooky, melodic power-pop that has made Chewy Marble a fan favorite... This is an album that could end up as many fans' favorite Chewy Marble disc because of the varying hues.
